Jon Ingold (inkle's narrative director) has a great talk on game dialogue [1] -- he implements a scene from Blade Runner in Ink. Super insightful and entertaining.<p>I've been using Ink a lot lately and really appreciate the work the community has put into it! Our team released a suite of interactive songs [2] last year -- we used Ink (and its handy Unity integration) to implement the core mechanic of two-player lyric choices in real-time, and even used it to handle some truth table logic for the credits :)<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo</a>

Heaven's Vault is a great game, for anyone interested in playing an archaeologist who has to translate an ancient language and uncover secrets of a lost civilization.

Very cool, how does it compare to [1] Twine?<p>[1] <a href="https://twinery.org/" rel="nofollow">https://twinery.org/</a>
I've been following Ink for a while because I went to uni with one of the founders of Inkle. As someone who isn't a game developer, a possible use case for me is something like scripting chat bots or data capture wizards. I don't know if it's actually a good fit for the problem, but the idea intrigues me.
I recognized the name from the game Stay?[0]
A very good game I heartily recommend if you're into fantasy.<p>0: <a href="https://ejadelomax.itch.io/stay" rel="nofollow">https://ejadelomax.itch.io/stay</a>
I've been using Ink for the game I'm developing and I love it. I tried Twine before that and as much as I like the visual interface of Twine, Ink has been a better fit for my needs.
